Our firm is committed to safeguarding the confidential information of our clients. We hold all personal data provided to us in the strictest confidence. Indeed, we require your permission prior to discussing your affairs with anyone external to the firm.

As part of the financial planning process we gather and use your private financial and health data to help you achieve your goals and objectives. Our policy is to never disclose your private and personal information to non-affiliated third parties, except as permitted by law or to carry out the duties for which you have retained us.

Specifically HK Financial Inc.'s policy with respect to personal information is as follows:

• Access to information is limited to employees who have a business or professional reason for knowing it and only to non-affiliated parties as permitted or required by law.
• Federal regulations require us to share a limited amount of information with Pacific West Securities, Inc. and Pacific West Financial Consultants, Inc - the Registered Investment Advisor Corporation through which securities and investment advisory services are offered. Please see Pacific West Securities, Inc. and Pacific West Financial Consultants, Inc. Privacy Policy.
• We maintain a secure physical office and our computer network are protected to ensure that your information is not placed at unreasonable risk.
• For unaffiliated third parties that require access to your personal information (such as a clearing broker providing services to you or Pacific West Securities, Inc. and Pacific West Financial Consultants, Inc.) we also require strict confidentiality and expect them to keep this information private.
• We do not provide your personal information to mailing list vendors or solicitors for any purpose..
• Disclosure of private client information is an offense subjecting employees to termination.
• We will maintain your files containing your data as long as you are a client, as required by law and the CFP Board Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility. After this required period of retention, all such information will be appropriately destroyed.
• While none of this is new for us, recent federal legislation requires that we communicate our policy in writing to you. If you have any questions regarding our policy, please feel free to contact us.
